On the theme of American politicians and Israel...
it has been a long time since we've heard the phrase 'political suicide'. For those who were not born before the sixties and seventies that term was applied to any American politician who dared to question Israel about anything.
The politicians know that not to agree with Israel about everything can be the end of their political careers. So let's not assume that all the members of Congress that express support for Israel are doing it from the bottoms of their hearts.

Is this another case of one way "with freedom of expression comes responsibility to not offend" muslims but of course, it's perfectly fine for muslims to burn the symbols of other religions?

IF you're proposing Israel and the religion of Judaism are one and the same it's the perfect reason for the US to bow out, fighting for a religion IS NOT the job of the US.

Given that palestine never existed, what you suggest is impossible.

Can you please point out to us when the state of Palestine existed and what the Ottomans or the British thought about it?

These are the kind of threads that are very convenient for people who know they can't post on this site about their hatred for Jewish people in America. When they say it's just that they have a problem with Israel, that's OK. But it's easy to know what they really WANT to say.
